Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lysosomal storage disorders are a heterogeneous group of rare genetic disorders in which the lysosome plays a pivotal role. The lysosome is a complex organelle, and we want to explore its functions within the cellular landscape. In this Special Issue we want to emphasize the influence of lysosomal dysfunction on various facets of cell biology and processes involved in disease. The interplay of various organelles and cellular pathways, as well as genetic and biochemical mechanisms, still have many aspects to be discovered. Technological innovation and emerging concepts in biology lead to mutable notions about pathologic processes, and the open sharing of new ideas among peers helps in validating the innovative concepts. After two years of pandemic, and subsequent challenges regarding forms of thinking and working, we intend to support and publish promising discoveries.
With this Special Issue we expect to provide a common ground for researchers, health professionals and students to share their findings. The scope of this journal is inclusive; we encourage the submission of works in the aforementioned areas, particularly in the following themes:
- Lysosomal dysfunction and processes involved in disease;
- New personalized approaches to therapies, models and innovative diagnosis;
- Interconnection between non-lysosomal diseases and lysosomal dysfunction.
We look forward to your collaboration.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Medical Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
